Title; When Danger Calls, I Know I Love You

Pairings: Booth/Brennan

Chapter: Chapter 4 Part 1

Disclaimer: Okay everyone, you all know by now I don't own anything from the show "Bones." If I did, Booth would constantly lose his shirt, he would have "accidentally" shot Tessa, and Cam would have never met him. So, obviously, I don't own it.

Author's Notes: Angela-Awww, Booth's such as hero!

Hodgins- You only think so because your not doing end credits. We repeat what we say over and over because there's nothing else to say. You get to talk about how awesome the chapter will be.

Angela- You guys, don't you realize the end credits are the best? You can talk about the chapter without worrying about saying too much.

Hodgins- If they're so great, why don't you do them.

Angela- Fine. You do the opening notes than.

Hodgins- Fine. Ally would like to thank you all for reviewing so far! Wait, this is the same stuff, you just added things to make it Angelaish.

Angela- sniggers yep, that's why they're so interesting darts to the bottom of the page bye!

Hodgins- dnit!

Ally- Oh my god guys, I am so sorry I didn't update! I've been really busy and haven't had time to update, so between that and my recent case of writer's block…but anyways here it is! Chapter 5! Hope you like it!

I couldn't believe it. Seeley Booth, my partner, the probable love of my life, had just offered himself to be kidnapped, and for what? So I wouldn't have to face it alone, so I wouldn't be lonely while he was killing me? What if Angela couldn't persuade Booth's boss to send backup? So many what ifs, and only one ended with no casualties for the side against Mario, most of the casualties being me, Booth, or both of us.

And yet he stayed. It must mean something, right? You don't just offer to risk your life for just anyone, even if you're an FBI agent. So Booth must have some sort of feelings for me.

He smiled at me, and as if reading my thoughts, said "I came. Don't over analyze it Bones, just accept it."

I smiled back. "We could die in here, you know." I pointed out.

He captured my hand and made me look into his eyes. Staring into them, he said "We're not going to die Temperance. Stop thinking like that." I surveyed him and suddenly, I knew. I knew why he had come for me, why he had stayed, even though he could die, and why he wanted me to believe we would get out of this.

Seeley Booth was in love with me.

I heard gun shots out the window, and I saw Booth's boss, what was her name again?, ducking under a car, and, oh my god, Angela! She'd been shot. Mario had done that. I looked at him as he darted inside. He was pounding up the stairs. He was going to see Booth! Oh no, this is bad…

Mario slammed the door open. Bursting in. He smiled crazily when he saw Booth, who had gotten his gun out and was pointing it at Mario.

"Well well well, what have we here? Agent Booth, what a pleasant surprise." He said, still smiling. Then he took out a gun. With speed quicker than I would have imagined him capable of, he grabbed me and held it to my head. "Make one move and she's dead." He said. I knew it wouldn't matter, that he would eventually kill me anyways, but Booth didn't, or I didn't think he did. I might've said something in the letter, but my mind was too panicked to remember.

I heard gun shots, and everything went black.

I opened my eyes groggily. I saw only blurred images of Booth, and who I think was Cam, sitting next to Zach. I saw, to no surprise though, any sign of Angela or Hodgins. Angela was either injured or dead, and Jack was either with her, or mourning.

I blacked out again, my last thoughts "Why is Cam here?"

When I opened my eyes again, I could see perfectly, even though it was dark, and I hurt all over, so I couldn't move too much, as I found when I attempted to sit up.

"Agh.." I cried out when my arm stung sharply, and immediately fell back, which in itself hurt. I heard movement and Booth came into view.

"Bones, you're awake! I thought you'd never get out of it!" He said, looking like he was going to throw his arms around me, but he seemed to realize I was in pain.

I smiled slightly at him. "How long have I been unconscious?" I asked.

He looked at me, and I knew I wouldn't like it. "You've been out of it a year Bones." That hit me hard. How could I have missed a whole year?

He started filling me in on what had happened. Angela had been seriously hurt, Booth's boss had been killed, and two other agents were killed as well. Three casualties on my account. Then I asked Booth if I knew either of the agents, and he looked hesitant.

"Well, yeah Bones, you see…" he looked at me sadly, "Sully got word that they knew where you were…" I knew where he was going with this, and tears sprang to my eyes. Sully had only been my boyfriend for a few months, but it seemed like years. I cried softly, and Booth enveloped me into a hug. I assume it hurt, but I was too emotional to feel it. I cried into his shoulder.

"Then how's Angela?" I asked. "How bad is she?"

"She got hit in the left arm, so she's fine to draw, which makes her happy, but her left arm is paralyzed. It looks like it may be for the rest of her life, if she doesn't get neurosurgery." He said.

"So she's getting it, right?" I asked.

"She's not sure. She says it isn't a major factor, and that maybe the risks aren't worth the rewards. She's debating it." He said. I was proud. Most people would have made that decision in a heartbeat, or only given it a little thought, but Angela was actually considering being handicapped for the rest of her life. It could affect a lot of things, like her driving, how well she could perform tasks, and she still realized maybe it wasn't worth the risk. I smiled.

"Just rest Bones, okay? We'll talk more in the morning." He said, standing.

"Wait, you're not going, are you?" I asked.

"No Bones, I'm going to the couch over there." He pointed to a couch at the other end of the room. "I have been here every night since you were admitted, I'm not going to leave you now."

I smiled and, knowing Booth was there to watch me, fell into an easy sleep.

When I woke up the next day, it was early morning, and Booth was still sleeping. I smiled at the sight of his shirtless body. Then, he stirred, and when he opened his eyes, I was looking at him. He smiled. "Morning Bones."

"Don't call me that." I said, grinning. "And good morning."

"You want anything? I usually go get espresso, I can get you a latte…" He said.

I put on a confused face. "What's a latte?" I asked.

He rolled his eyes. "It's a…Oh, never mind. Just, what do you want for breakfast?"

I ordered some toast and a water.

He left, and I was left alone. I looked around my room. I wasn't as tired today, and it was much easier to move around. I noticed flowers from Hodgins and Angela, 3 cards and a candy bar from Zach, a card from…Cam? Since when did she care? Weren't her and Booth going out? Oh well. The next thing I saw brought tears to my eyes. Chocolates, flowers, and cards had all been sent from Sully. I also noticed a card from Russ and Dad. I wonder how they managed to get that in there, Booth had insisted if he saw them again, he would kill them, and he said he was here everyday. But he probably wasn't. The cards probably got him a little angry when he saw they had snuck by him.

Finally, Booth returned. Toast and water in one hand, eggs, bacon, more toast, sausage, and an espresso in the other. I laughed at the sight of him.

He grinned and set the toast and water down, then gabbed the espresso quickly as it slipped from his hand. Pulling up a chair, he sat at the little table attached to the bed with me and started talking.

"I know you're probably wondering, and so, since I insist analyzing will kill you, it's your time off for crying out loud, I'll tell you. I let them in long enough to say some things to you, kiss you on the cheek, present you with gifts, and then gave the 1 minute and 5 seconds to leave." He said. I figured who.

"Russ and dad?"

"Yeah."

"You said you'd kill them if you ever saw them again."

"I know."

"Why didn't you?"

"Because…"He hesitated. "Because you could've died, and they wouldn't have gotten a chance to say good-bye. I didn't want that."

Now I had to know. "Booth." I began, "Can I ask you something?"

"Shoot." He said.

"What happened?" I asked, not getting it meant "sure."

"Shoot means you can. Now what?"

"Do you love me?"

Angela- Ohhh, getting hot! I love the fact Hodgins gave up this position, I can talk about the chapter! Yay! Well, did you like it? Oh, come on, unless you were a Cam/Booth and or a Tessa/Booth fan, you had to like it! Well, if you liked it, let Ally know by hitting that little button there. If you didn't like it, let Ally know by pressing that little button there.

Either way, please press the little button, thank you!

Hodgins: You tricked me, I want this back.

Angela: Sorry Hodgins, but you did let me have it…

Hodgins: That was before I knew this was cooler!

Angela: Next time, read the job description.
